About This Book
A French statesman examines the American crisis of 1861, arguing that the national uprising will ultimately succeed and advocating policies toward emancipation; he traces political causes, anticipates the course of the conflict, and critiques both American errors and European attitudes. He urges European governments to resist intervention, warns against siding with the slaveholding secessionists for short-term gain, and offers practical counsel on diplomatic questions. A supplementary pamphlet addresses a recent maritime dispute, justifies concessions on technical grounds while admonishing Europe that coercive interference would be morally and politically perilous.
